Question: if it was you, would you want to know (considering the long term effects on your life/existence)?

I think yes, I would. But not being in our friends positing, I can't really say, I suppose._________________"Give a man food, you feed him for a day...

One would hope that the fruit of knowledge would have all the knowledge he'd need, and not just enough to break him. Yes, he -has- been a sanctimonious Jesus-clown. But not just, not only, there is room for love and mercy for the fears and falsehoods that behavior came from, and room to change and grow past them. Who knows, he might actually -understand- Christianity if he can figure that much out.

What I find the most interesting is how Big G chose to answer Seymour: Not directly - not speaking at all, in fact - but allowing him to eat unto the Fruit of Knowledge (assuming that's what it is) and letting him find out on his own.
This is a neat parallel to Slick vs. Sleaze: Looking inside oneself to see who really lives there. They have the means; have they the will?_________________

It's difficult. On the one hand, if I were Seymour, I would like to know what I had been up to before I got my amnesia. Just because I'd feel incomplete having lost my past.

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to deal with what I had done. After all, I'm a new person now who is out to be good and discovering what I had done might change it._________________Home is where the bra isn't.

Slick and Li'l E are the only characters who have gotten amnesia due to the lethe. Slick got his memories back, while it isn't clear whether Li'l E has his back or not. His reactions to some things imply he has gotten some memories back, but it's not exactly certain. However, Seymour (and Pebbles) have both taken a dive in a purified lake but there has been no evidence that the lake was the lethe. If it was the lethe - which I doubt, based on the fact that the dragon was sleeping in the lake - Seymour kept his memories from the ordeal. He has, however, accidentally pricked himself with Cupid's arrow - which was essentially the equivalent to getting really drunk to him but has resulted in him calming down quite a bit, at the price of twisting his fanboyism of Jesus to almost sexual levels.
